So how does one really grade the "sexiness" of something composed entirely of computer-generated graphics? Well I'm taking a few things into account here (much like I did with my Top 5 Gundam Girls list). Appearance-wise, its easy to detect the sex appeal of something based on design. It's like calling a painting beautiful; I look at their designs as a work of art. With that, I also have to consider their character; are they competent? Are their personalities appealing? Some characters will have a lot more of one than the other, so it will all be based on my judgment.

10. Alicia
-------------
Though Bullet Witch was a pretty lackluster game, they made up its gameplay with a sexy lead in the form of Alicia. Alicia is a witch with a magical weapon that can change form and conjure magic spells, allowing Alicia to kick all kinds of demon ass. Power is always sexy for some reason, and the fact that she works those extra costumes like a pro really puts the whole image together. I'm loving that hot secretary look, especially...
-------------------------
9. The Girls of DOA
-------------------------
In all honesty, the Dead or Alive series is known for one thing: girls with bouncing breasts. While the gameplay was good enough to call it a decent fighting game, Dead or Alive made a name for itself with its adorable, big breasted women. They even had a bounce feature, which made breasts bounce uncontrollably. I couldn't choose one girl because to me, they are all interchangeable in terms of looks and only differentiate with hair style and color. That's alright, they are also all equally hot.
--------------
8. Chun-Li
--------------
Chun-Li is THE original fighting game babe. She's a cutie, but packed inside those monstrous leg-missiles is a 50-hit combo of lightning fast kicks that is waiting to kill you. Say what you want about her muscle-laden legs; I found them quite sexy. It's not just her legs that are powerful; she's also got incredible will-power and plenty of guts for trying to take down the world's most powerful and psychotic man alive (M.Bison). She's an all-round strong woman, and sexy to boot.
-------------
7. Samus
-------------
Ah, Samus seems to be a favorite on lists like this. Its usually through a stupid bias, her being a classic video game girl and the whole "whoa she's a girl?!" thing that occured 20 somewhat years ago; so don't complain that she's not higher on the list. So of course, she gets the credit for being the tough-ass space warrior that she is, using her suit of mass destruction to take down space pirates and keep a dangerous race of parasite aliens under control. When she finally came out of the suit with her "zero-suit" on, we got a taste of her curves, which were much better than expected. Samus is definitely a classic when it comes to video game girls.
6. Ada Wong
-----------------
Ada Wong is what you would call a femme fatale. Though she didn't seem like much in her Resident Evil 2 appearance, her appearance was upped several notches in Resident Evil 4. Working as an agent for Wesker, Ada randomly pops up here and there to help Leon. She's no stranger to the gun, and her fighting abilities make her as sexy as she is deadly. Though of course, her most eye-catching feature are her legs, sexing it up through the cut of her dress. She could probably make you do whatever she wanted you to do, though you'll probably end up with something stolen or just dead.
--------------
5. Judith
--------------
The pointy-eared babe of Tales of Vesperia, Judith is a member of the Kritya tribe. She's really overlooked when it comes to video game girls, though I guess the Tales games are a sort of niche series in the U.S. anyway. Her skimpy outfit is quite stylish, and her blue hair is really eye-catching. Her figure is also not exaggerated; its more of an average, much younger build. I think that's what I like about her design. She's also a formidable dragon rider, and has plenty of spunk. Judith is an all-round JRPG hottie.
---------------------------
4. Alisa Bosconovitch
---------------------------
Though she's a very recent addition to the Tekken roster, she immediately marked her place as the Tekken babe. I was drawn by her appearance, but I found her moves to fit my playing style and she became my regular in Tekken 6. She's a perfect combination of cute-as-a-button and sexy, with some great extra costumes showing off her curves. All that pink and her cutesy voice may seem a bit too much, but of course, she happens to be a killing machine. She's actually a battle android with the ability to fly with jet thrusters all over her body. She can also pull saws out of her arms and shoot her arms like missiles. Of course, the most interesting aspect of her robotic body is the ability to take her head off and have it explode like a bomb. All her limbs immediately zap back when they come off, so no worries there. She's the perfect eye-candy for Tekken, which was turning into a bit of a sausage-fest...
-----------
3. Yuna
-----------
A favorite of mine from Final Fantasy X, Yuna is a beauty in every aspect of the word. Her appearance in the original game was that of a very determined, innocent girl. There isn't much to comment on body-wise, but her face is beautifully rendered with a round face, a small button nose, and shining blue-green eyes. Her character had incredible will-power, willing to risk her life to save all of Spira as a summoner. Impeccable manners and a soft-spoken demeanor makes her a perfect wife. Even though her personality had a sudden change in X-2, she still remained the kind-hearted heroine of Spira.
--------------------
2. Mai Shiranui
--------------------
Mai Shiranui is sort of a pioneer of the big-breasted, scantily-clad video game babe, if that makes any sense to you. Originally appearing way back in the first Fatal Fury game, Mai caught the attention of every sexually-frustrated gamer in her consecutive appearances in the King of Fighters series. Her claim to fame was the free-form bouncing of her enormous chest-balloons, which they even incorporated into her regular fighting stance sprite. Without all the bounce, she might not have been on this list at all. Thanks to boobies, minimal clothing, and major kickassery, Mai is one of the classic hotties of video games.
-----------------------
1. Tifa Lockheart
-----------------------
And finally, my number one. Tifa Lockheart from Final Fantasy VII is the definition of sexy. Like a few of the other girls on this list, Tifa's greatest feature is her ample chest. Couple a slender waist with an equally impossible set of legs complimented by her "too-short-to-be-true" mini-skirt, and you've got a goddess-like figure. Of course, when Advent Children came out, we were also treated to an unbelievably beautiful face as well; something that just couldn't occur in real life. Her looks aside, she's also a fighter and capable of kicking ass in unarmed combat. She is always optimistic, keeping her crew's spirits up at all times. Cloud was an idiot to ignore her all those years; she's much better than Aerith in my opinion.

Honorable Mentions
--------------------------
Lara Croft from Tomb Raider, Alyx Vance from Half-Life 2, Jill Valentine from Resident Evil, Trish from Devil May Cry, and Rachel from Ninja Gaiden.
There are a lot of reasons why I didn't put a lot of popular characters on my list. First of all, this list was basically a compilation of my personal tastes, and I tend to have a taste for the cute Asian type (mostly because I'm Asian). That is why characters like Lara Croft, Rayne, and Trish just don't appeal to me as much. In the case of Alyx Vance; she's only on people's lists because she was in Half-Life 2, she has no visual appeal and quite honestly, I think she looks like a man. There you go in case you were wondering where your favorites were.
